that's why presidents in the second term go to foreign policy as a part of legacy. i wonder how the president is viewed on the world stage? four years ago we talked about the rock star reception around the world. i wonder how people feel now. >> i think he's viewed because of the arab spring very differently. he's not viewed as a passive observer, someone who saw this wildfire in the dry woods of the middle east coming and watched it burn. if you ask many world leaders, they think that the obama administration was deeply responsible for the way things developed. if you ask leaders in saudi arabia, they blame president obama for unleashing the arab spring, by throwing mubarak under a bus, for allowing this -- the sequence of events to transpire. i don't think people in the obama administration accept that view, but when you ask world leaders they look back and they say under the president of the united states' watch, this is what happened and this is the course he took and will be remembered by in a very important region. >> richard engel, thank you for being part of
